Official: Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain signs for Liverpool

The 24 year old has signed a five year deal with the Merseysiders, having turned down a move to Chelsea earlier this week.

The England international had belatedly been offered new terms by Arsenal throughout this summer, but saw his future as a central-midfield player, and Arsene Wenger seemed reluctant to play him there in anything other than an emergency.

Oxlade-Chamberlain joined Arsenal in 2011, and made his debut in the 8-2 at Old Trafford. His final game for the club was the 4-0 defeat an Anfield last Sunday, so he has basically closed a circle of shite.

Liverpool have paid Arsenal a fee believed to be in the region of £40m.

In 199 appearances for the club, he scored 20 goals, two fewer than Laurent Koscielny.

Promised he’d sign a new contract all summer. Probably even convinced the manager, only reason I can think of Wenger playing him at Anfield after refusing a contract, and then ditches us at the 11th hour. Arsenal actually did really well getting £35m for him, but didn’t have enough time to find a good replacement.

I don’t wish him poorly. From the looks of it, there was fault in terms of how he was managed as well. How does a player go from a relative nobody (squad player, left on bench) to the core around which we build the team in three months (part of which was off-season)?

Remains to be seen if he’s made the right choice though. I don’t see the Liverpool coach, or fans, being as patient with him as we Arsenal was.

Though the ox was a fan favourite and had quality banter, if his move means we would see more of Reiss Nelson, then we shouldn’t be too complaining too much. After all Nelson already looks twice the player and with that certain X factor which we never saw in the Ox, or at least he never showed enough of.

When it came time to stand up and be counted, he fucked off and that’s how I’ll remember him.

That’s officially the end of the British core project which Wenger initiated after seeing mercenaries like Nasri, Fabregas abandon our once sinking ship . The project has failed because either Wenger overestimated British loyalty (Fucking Chambo) or they were not talented enough (Jenks, Gibbo) to make it here. It now remains to be seen whether Jack, and to a certain extent, Rambo will ever make it here.

Bollocks, our team keep on making the same mistakes not because they don’t “stand up and be counted” it’s because they’re not given the tools to deal with adversity on the training pitch.

We play one way and one way only, and if it doesn’t work then we’re likely to get hammered. It has nothing to do with the players as the same thing has happened with different sets. Why do you think so many players want to leave?

Personally I am very glad. So many times he’d get in the team ahead of players who are better or in better form

This new Arsene obsession to build a British 11 at all costs.
We were in for vardy and Evans last year despite adding the underperforming welbeck to the ‘British core’ and those chaps have to get minutes somehow irrespective of form or what they offer the team.

We have one of our two holding midfielders camped in the opposition box hoping our strikers feed him and cover him.
They are also on the bench looking at some footballer (not a striker) sky every chance and we wonder why we are getting closer and closer to Sunderland on the field and personnel than the champions.

Hopefully all his favorites abandon him and he starts playing whoever is left on merit. And in their correct positions.

NaiBoi Gunner.

Absolutely. I wish I could say I was gutted by this but I really am not. Some will say we lost potential…but potential is tricky stuff. United fans said the same thing about Welbeck(no offence to Welbz) but do any of us really think they regret the sale now? Same parallels to be drawn here. Injury prone, lots of potential, “needs the right set of circumstances in a new set up to get going…”…….ok. We’ll see.

You say I’ll miss his “banter”, but that is exactly what I won’t miss. Ever since Roy Keane made those ‘six pack selfie’ comments about Arsenal I’ve been keeping my eye on this. Ox is the worst perpetrator by a long way. Every time he is substituted (when he knows he’s for sure on camera) he lifts his shirt to “wipe sweat” from his face whilst handily revealing his abs. At the end of a match he takes his shirt off and slings it over his shoulder walking around topless. If we win his straight out with the topless changing room selfies. He will most likely marry a pop star and try to make himself the next beckham (which is why he wants CM and not wingback, as wingback is a low profile position), and from a personal standpoint I’d rather see this culture ended than encouraged. Good riddance from that viewpoint

never associated the ‘wiping sweat’ part to the cavalier attitude, but now that you have written it down, makes a lot of sense. I also believe, that as long as they are performing, I can stand the flaunting(like C Ronaldo or Mayweather in boxing). However, a player like Chambo is clearly not on their level, and his performances do not entitle the flaunting part, if his aim is truly to become exceptionally good at what he does(play football)

Disclaimer:He has all the right to do what he wants with his money and status and I might come across as bitter and jealous, but I believe many of these footballers start out with the aim of being the best and that goal should be there till the last day of their career, regardless of whether they play for Barca, Real Madrid or even Blackpool or Accrington. Be the best at what you do

Lallana was always an excellent player, consistently over a number of seasons. Ox hasn’t proven that yet, but it wouldn’t surprise me if, like you say, he makes that step up under a good coach. He has many good qualities, but I’m not convinced ‘end product’ can be coached or learnt with experience (like for example positioning and defending can). Time will tell, but I can’t help thinking he’ll make someone a fine wingback some day

Would disagree with your Lallana analysis. He was a very good if fair-weather player for a midtable club and in the lower leagues, but when Klopp came many thought he wouldn’t be able to adapt to his requirements. Klopp transformed him imo. As for final product, last season was by far Ox’s to date so maybe the penny was dropping. I guess we’ll have to see

Liverpool paid £30m for lallana when prices weren’t mental, so I think it’s fair to say he was accomplished when he signed for them. He had a bad first season which made it look like he’d improved when his form picked up, but he’s only doing the same things that he was at Southampton. If ox does the same things that he’s done at Arsenal then they will regret paying £40m

A large part of his rationale for moving to Liverpool is wishful thinking. I doubt if he will get an automatic shirt ahead of Henderson, Coutinho and Keita next season.

Arsene tried his best to keep him but as his mind was elsewhere, it was a good deal in the end for Arsenal.

“Can Wenger maximise on that potential?”

As a ex-supporter of AW, I gave up the ghost a year ago, as did his players by the looks of it. When you strip away all the bias and look at just his actions, he doesn’t have a decisive plan of how to maximise. The club have shown zero ambition in chasing titles – borne out by the way they let contracts lapse, by indecision in transfers, by stubborn misplaced faith in individuals (e.g. Walcott). It’s a sorry state and its being laid bare for all to see. New owner, CEO and manager needed – preferably ones with plans.

Yeah, i’ve no issue with him leaving to pursue his wish to play centrally. It’s a good deal for all sides in my opinion. Sometimes things reach their natural end and this one certainly has.

Still though, just seeing him in that Liverpool shirt hurts. I don’t know why, but it does. Yes, his play could be erratic, he hardly scored, and there was always some injury issues with him. But still, I don’t know why, it just doesn’t settle in right. Perhaps it’s because this club is surrounded by so much negativeness at the moment, we don’t have some big signing to help us through all the negativity, to balance the equation.

What I fear is what Klopp would be able to get out of him in that CM position. I don’t fault AW so much for the transfer dealings as I do for his team selections and player managements. Perhaps under Klopp, when he has a manager who could scream his lungs at him for his misplaced passes he could improve and learn how to umm… not do that anymore.

Oh well, best wishes to him, I hope he does become a talented CM/CAM as he has wanted, and does actually fulfill his potential, even if at Liverpool.

I stood by arsene for a long time, but he should of left after the FA cup. This is what happens when you tell players that you see his future in midfield (a couple of seasons ago) and you make him believe. What do you want from the guy!

Arsene said that he sees walcot as a CF after he convinced him of it. When it came to his contract renewal he demanded to play as a CF and it was another failed experiment/project and now he sits on the bench. Someone should tell arsene to stop putting ideas into players heads then abandoned them.

I don’t understand why he didn’t play him as a CM in preseason, or told him that we can play you there in Europa and cup competition if you sign then go from there.

I’m sick and tiered if arsenes shit. I’m in NZ and to get up at 3am to watch a lb playing as a cab, rb on the left and after spending some $$$ he bench them.

something must be going on behind the senes, and if that’s the case have some balls and Stand up to the club and quite. And speak about how the club is not backing you with $$$ to go back to the top of the table. Save your fucking legacy… don’t take the criticism point it the right person and quite.

Good luck to him. I know people get irked at transfers out of the club but he was bought from Southampton, stuck with us stagnated and went to the club of his choice when more lucrative offers were on the table from our local rivals. I think its the manager, by the way. I think he left because of the stagnation of the club and the yearly monotonous grind under Wenger yielded the same old results and performances.

He’s not a perfect footballer but whatever potential he still has, I’m sure Klopp will utilise it well. It is a mark on our club that players now leave in the hopes to realize their potential. Something else Wenger will choose to ignore.

Someone else pointed out that ironically, Klopp is exactly the kind of manager we would have wanted to replace Wenger. His team just pumped us and now he thinks he can mould one of our players into a CM in his 3 midfield system. Many are celebrating getting 40m for one of our first team players but the reality is that this is the latest sign of stagnation for our club

I really liked the Ox, but fuck him! Another overpaid, ungrateful cockpuffin who we stood by whilst he gave the ball away, got injured, came back gave the ball away some more, got injured again, came back found a position that suited him, had half a good season then fucked us off. What really pisses me off is the interview he gave on the pitch at Wembley when he was sucking Gerrard’s cock saying how he wanted to play in the middle and how he wanted to be the new Stevie G. Arsehole, basically saying he wanted to sign for Liverpool whilst on the pitch supposedly celebrating winning the F.A. Cup with us.

other clubs including mourinhos are way more attacking and easy on the eye now. seriously considering switching teams to support now (maybe not jose’s, but some other team). Very depressing to go through the same shit for 10 years now.

Even a raging true believer like me have their limits. Maybe its too early in the season, and without european distractions arsenal might end up doing well. But i seriously doubt that.

i will probably eliminate the emotional connect between arsenal and me by just not watching their games. In fact by watching other top teams i have realised that arsenal a level below the top teams.

Arseblog and the guys posting comments have been great, but its time for me to cut the chord- at least for this season. I hope I will be back as an Arsenal fan next season

Hurry up and switch then. I’ve been supporting Arsenal for 40 years and seen some utter shite. Never once have I thought of switching. May I suggest Chelsea along with all their other fair weather fans??

i think you got this the wrong way around. You need to support the team win/lose/draw. That is what a fan is, it’s an emotional roller coaster.

If you are planning to give up on your team, try following another sports.

Nah I’m still Arsenal for life, but I’ve just accepted that now we’re a club with no ambition whatsoever. 40 points lads!
